G+_David McKown Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Originally shared by Pedro Nunez (R2Detour) Today I had the honor of meeting Leo Laporte?, the person who inspired a kid, who never saw a computer on his life, to learn everything that I can about computers. I was just a bored 15 years old kid changing channels on the TV, looking for something to watch. That's when I ran into a channel called TechTV, and a rerun of a show called The Screen Savers. I literally sat down, glued to the TV that day. Even though my English was limited, and I could hardly understand less than half of the terms that were mentioned on the show. Day, after day. I kept watching this person talk casually about these marvelous machines that I only saw on TV and movies. Soon enough, I convinced my parents to buy me a computer (it was a Compaq, running Windows 98) and I began to mess around. Trying some of the stuff I saw on The Screen Savers, and Call For Help... And freaking out when it didn't go as planned. I can't even begin to express how thankful I am to this man. Thanks for inspiring this kid, wearing a responsible adult costume, to jump into the wonderful world of technology. Thank you for all the knowledge, and laughs that you have imparted.

G+_Pedro Nunez (R2Detour) Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Chris Fixsen? Thanks. I thought I would share how much it meant to me to finally meet Leo. Could've done a better job in the grammar department though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
